@RubyWorms @ThomasS4217 2/ How *convenient* for Chad Wolf to be nominated as DHS secretary *one day* after HHSC releases damning whistleblower complaint, and then one day after that uses Wolf's DHS nomination as excuse for not complying w/HHSC subpoena. (more) h/t @BaddCompani
@RubyWorms @ThomasS4217 @BaddCompani 3/ "The WH sent Wolf's nomination to serve as full Homeland Security secretary to the Senate on Thursday" [Sep 10, 2020] one day before Wolf's subpoena was issued.

@LpVotebiden2020 @BaddCompani @parscale @Agenthades1 3/ ...spent $156,000 for planes to pull aerial banners in recent months; and paid nearly $110,000 to Yondr, a company that makes magnetic pouches used to store cellphones during fund-raisers so that donors could not secretly record Mr. Trump and leak his remarks."

@ZevShalev 1/ Just what every Postmaster General needs...a 24-carat gold staircase. Absolutely obscene. Think of slave-conditions required to mine, process, deliver that gold to Greensboro. #LetThemEatCake
Did Senate confirm DeJoy? Unable to verify yes or no. (more)
@ZevShalev 2/ Wikipedia:
"The postmaster general is now appointed by 9 'governors', appointed by the president w/the advice and consent of the Senate"
Senate approved all 6 USPSBOG members, most recent confirmations in Jun 2020.

@ZevShalev 3/ #CommanderInCheat had opportunity to shape USPSBOG to his liking because as of Dec 2016, there were exactly zero board members. A single Senator held up confirmation hearings for President Obama's 5 nominees. (more) h/t @clearing_fog

@myrubypearl @Agenthades1 @loonyberg 🤗@myrubypearl😃THANK YOU!
Thank you, @GeorgeCroner for publishing FOIA response!
1/ George Croner quote: "Now, Barr is incorrect about the need to register as almost anyone who was 18 in 1968, like Barr, will attest." i.e, all males must register on their 18th birthday (more)
@myrubypearl @Agenthades1 @loonyberg @GeorgeCroner 2/ George Croner quote: "Was Barr so embarrassed by his obvious deferment he thought it better to misrepresent to the Senate that he had even registered at all?" (more...)

@myrubypearl @Agenthades1 @loonyberg @GeorgeCroner 3/ From FOIA request. Can someone with better eyes than me (or a magnifying glass, LOL) see the dates for William Barr (last line in photo⤵️):

Jul 1971 => Status 1A
Jan 18 1972 => Status 1H (more...)
